Kael's bike with Grampa's bike :D

My 3 babies sleeping in the car.

The Gall of it!

So no gall stones... Not sure how relieved I am though. On the one hand it's good because I don't have to have my gall bladder removed, so no hospitalization required. Also, all my organs are ok so nothing weird picked up there. He said it could be inflammation of the (something starting with a 'D' which comes right after the stomach) which causes the pain. So he's prescribed an antacid and it should settle within a few days if it's that. On the other hand, I'm petrified of cancer so I drilled him all about that, how it works and what could / would happen if it doesn't settle. So, having my mind a bit clearer on that, I suppose I do feel a bit better.
I had worst case scenarios going through my mind...
At least it's all done now (and hopefully it'll all settle and I'll be done with it).
I can't imagine how tough it must be for parents who find out they're going to leave a family behind. I shudder at the thought.

Kael

Yesterday morning, I was giving my younger 2 kiddies breakfast (they'd asked for Jordy's cereal - he got a box of Milo cereal for his birthday last week). So I put some in a bowl for Kael and he told me that he didn't want milk with it. A few minutes later, he then said, "Actually, I do want milk. I was confused!"
Seriously, how many kids at the age of 35 months can say that. I love that my kids talk so well :)

Doctors...

So here I sit, waiting patiently at the X-ray department of Olivedale for someone to see me and do a scan of my abdomen... I may have gall stones. How exciting! Not really but what else can I say about it? It's freezing in this waiting area - as though they think it's 35°C outside the room and they need to keep the heat out.
Apparently they have to remove the gall bladder if it is gall stones. Now that sounds like a whole barrel of fun hey?
